Title: Improvements in Gramophones.
Inventor: PERGOLIZZI EDUARDO
Filed: 1910-08-29
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 20,100. Pergolizzi, E. Aug. 29. [Addition to 24,588/09.] Driving.-Relates to an improvement on the invention described in the parent Specification and in Specification 4698/10 for using either an electric or a spring motor for driving a gramophone and consists in dispensing with the set of levers controlling the spring motor, and arranging the levers to stop the spring motor automatically when the electric motor is to be employed. The spring motor 1 drives the turntable spindle 8 through pinions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the last pinion being adapted to slide with a sleeve 7 on the spindle 8 and engage either within a hollow cross-bar 11 integral with the spindle 8 or with a similar cross-bar 12, which is carried by a part of the frame, and does not rotate. An operating-lever 19, pivoted at 20, has a fork 21 adapted to slide the sleeve 7, and also a series of connecting-levers 23 carrying a fork adapted to slide the pulley 26 driven from the electric motor into and out of engagement with a toothed wheel 28, integral with the spindle 8. The sleeve 7 has tapered ends with recesses to engage with pointed spring plungers 15 within the cross-pieces 11, 12. The Figures show the sleeve 7 in engagement with the cross-bar 11, and therefore the turntable spindle 8 being driven by the spring motor 1. By depressing the lever 19, the sleeve 7 is disengaged from the cross-bar 11 and engaged with the fixed cross-bar 12. This stops the spring motor, and simultaneously, through the connecting-levers 23, connects the teeth on the pulley 26 with the toothed wheel 28. On starting the electric motor, the turntable spindle is once again rotated, but now by the electric motor.
Patent GB-191023079-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Fluid-pressure Brakes for Railway or similar Vehicles.
Inventor: OPPERMANN GEORG
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1910-10-05
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 23,079. Oppermann, G. Oct. 5. Fluid-pressure.-Comprises special constructions of accelerating-valves for differential vacuum or compressed-air brakes of railway and like vehicles, adapted to operate, in both service and emergency applications, to open the train-pipe to atmosphere and to open a communication between the brake cylinder and train-pipe in addition to that which normally exists, the valve returning to its normal position after a certain period of time. Fig. 1 shows the application to vacuum brakes. The valve 14 is connected to a diaphragm 7, and is normally pressed on to its seat by a spring 24 so as to form a closure for the train-pipe 2. The valve slides on a tube 11 which communicates with the brake cylinder by a tube 12. Under normal conditions, the brake cylinder is exhausted through a port 13 in the tube 11, and a reservoir 8 above the diaphragm 7 is exhausted through a small port 21, passage 16, and groove 18. During an application, if the pressure in the train-pipe increases more rapidly than that in the reservoir 8, the valve 14 lifts and opens the train-pipe to an atmospheric port 9. At the same time, the communication between the brake cylinder and train-pipe is increased by the uncovering of ports 23 in the tube 11. The communication between the trainpipe and reservoir 8 is also increased by the opening of a port 22 to the passage 16, whereupon the pressure in the reservoir increases more rapidly and returns the valve to normal position. In one modification, the tube 11 is dispensed with, and the valve 14 is connected by a rod with a lift valve which normally rests upon the top of the tube 12, the latter valve being provided with a port giving the normal communication to the brake cylinder. Fig. 6 shows the application to a compressed - air brake. The accelerating - valve casing is connected to the brake cylinder at 36 and to the train-pipe at 38, and is provided with a reservoir 41 charged through a groove 42. The brake cylinder is normally in communication with the train-pipe by a port 51. When train-pipe pressure is reduce for an application, the piston 39 and valve 43 are moved to the left, thereby opening an exhaust port 46, and providing additional communication with the brake cylinder by opening a valve 49. At the same time, the reservoir 41 is put into communication with an exhaust port 45 by a cavity 44 in the valve 43, until the reservoir pressure is sufficiently reduced to return the parts to normal position. The valve 49 and port 51 may be replaced by grooves formed in an extension of the piston-rod 48. The localventing of the train-pipe may be limited by venting into a reservoir normally at atmospheric pressure, or by providing the exhaust port with a spring- loaded check valve.

Abstract: 26,327. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 12. Heels, machines for. - A blank-holding magazine for use in machines for nailing or attaching heels, top-lifts, and similar blanks, consists of tube 10, Fig. 3, heel-shaped in crosssection, and having one end formed with a flared mouth 42, and its other end provided with inwardly-projecting lugs 16 to engage the blanks 14 when the magazine is removed from the machine, inverted, and loaded. The magazine is supported in a fork-shaped support 18, Fig. 2, by a removable retaining-bar 28, the rear support being provided with a shank 20, which is clamped in the split end of an arm 22 mounted on a post 8, Figs. 1 and 2. When the magazine is in position, the blanks are prevented from falling out by a wing 12 extending from the top-lift or heel holder 40, which, in the operation of the machine, transfers a blank from the magazine to attaching position. The magazine is supported in spaced relationship with the wing 12 by a hook 38, Fig. 1, which hooks over the upper end of a vertically-adjustable bar 32, the lower end of which is outwardlyturned, as shown at 36. The shape of the lower end of the magazine, and also of the bar 32, enables a blank of unusual height or thickness to be removed by the holder without danger of any breakage, the magazine being lifted to the necessary extent by the engagement of the blank with the outwardly-flared end 42.
